Jump straight to Webull! Get real-time market data, analysis tools and $0 commissions. Swing trading offers the opportunity to capture short and medium-term profits from speculating on the price of financial assets and derivatives.

Better Fintech Stock: Robinhood Markets vs. PayPal | The Motley Fool - Motley Fool

Image
Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ:HOOD) and PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ:PYPL) represent two very different ways to invest in the growing fintech market. Robinhood is the disruptive online brokerage that popularized commission-free stock and cryptocurrency trades. Its streamlined smartphone app and gamified user interface also made it a popular choice for younger investors. PayPal is one of the largest online payment platforms in the world. It also provides "buy now, pay later" (BNPL) services, peer-to-peer payments through its Venmo app, cryptocurrency purchases, and other services. Image source: Getty Images. Investors treated these two stocks very differently after their public debuts. Robinhood went public in July 2021 at $38 per share, but it now trades roughly 50% below its IPO price. Meanwhile, PayPal's stock price has rallied more than 400% since it was spun off from eBay (NASDAQ:EBAY) in July 2015. Will PayPal...

Payne: High Five! Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a stylish, roomy and speedy EV - The Detroit News

Image
Julian, California — We've come a long way from Pious to Ioniq. Twenty years ago, the Toyota Prius sparked a green segment in the American car market. The stylish hybrid was gobbled up by granola chewers and became a hit, inspiring predictions from the pointy-head class that hybrids would dominate the market by 2020. Hybrid GMC Yukons, Ford Fusion hybrids, Chevy Volts came and went as the hybrid hype fizzled. Turns out, green is a niche like V-8s, diesel trucks, off-road dirt kickers. Now comes another green spasm and the market is flooding with battery-powered vehicles. But this time, the niche is fun. Henry Payne reviews the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 EV Henry Payne reviews the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 EV The Detroit News Hybrids wore out their welcome in part because they were sooooo cloying. Their screens awoke with tree branches reminding us they were doing good. Saving the planet! Just like Leo DiCaprio! Prius was derisively dubbed the "Pious" and the name stu...

Cryotherapy for prostate cancer: Benefits, risks, and more - Medical News Today

Image
Cryotherapy is a promising newer treatment option for prostate cancer. During the procedure, a doctor freezes prostate tissue at extremely low temperatures. This causes cancer cells to die. After skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer in the male population. Doctors diagnose almost 250,000 new cases every year in the United States. More traditional treatment approaches, such as radiation therapy and surgery to remove the prostate, have various negative effects that can affect sexual function and quality of life. However, because cryotherapy is minimally invasive and causes fewer long-term problems, doctors may recommend it to treat early stage prostate cancer. This article looks at cryotherapy for prostate cancer, including its benefits and risks. It also explores some alternative prostate cancer treatment options.

Recurrence characteristics and clinicopathological results of borderline ovarian tumors - BMC Women's Health - BMC Blogs Network

Image
BOTS are tumors with low malignancy potential. It has been proven that although they have a good prognosis, they also have a notable recurrence rate. In this study, 286 patients with BOTs were followed up for 10–109 months, and pathology revealed that BOTs recurred in 40 patients, which gives a recurrence rate of 13.9%. Qian Zhang et al. [7] reported a lower recurrence rate of 9.2% but the recurrence rate in this study is consistent with other research. BOTs are mostly found in women of childbearing age and often only found during a physical examination due to the absence of clinical symptoms in the early stages. The present study revealed that the median age of the onset of BOTs was 42.06 ± 14.97 years. Asymptomatic pelvic masses were found in 62.9% of the asymptomatic patients through physical examination, while abnormal uterine bleeding, urinary frequency, and urgent urination occurred in only 7.1% and 3.6% of patients. The number of patients who experience...

Image
Photo credit: Maria Botina / EyeEm - Getty Images So you're doing a regular check on your downstairs area (as you should!). You're feeling around, looking at various angles with your hand mirror, when all of a sudden your finger runs over a bump . It looks like a blister filled with pus. The image is a bit jarring, but don't freak out. What you're seeing is probably a vaginal boil. And while getting any bump on the vulva area can be nerve-racking, vaginal boils are pretty harmless. (Though potentially painful.) Lumps and bumps always make people nervous because the mind goes immediately to the worst possible thing, says Alyssa Dweck , MD, an ob-gyn in Westchester County, New York—like a type of cancer or a sexually transmitted infection. But "most vulvar bumps are benign and in fact quite common," Dr. Dweck says. Now, let's get a little bit more specific about this particular condition itself. The following is what you need to know about vaginal boils, i...

Allergy cough: Triggers, types, and treatment - Medical News Today

Image
Allergies can result in a chronic cough. If a person is sensitive to certain allergens, they may be more likely to develop a cough due to their allergies. According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology (ACAAI), if a person is sensitive to dust, pet dander, pollen, mold, or other common allergens, they are likely to experience coughing as a result of allergies. Coughing occasionally is completely normal. Some people may find that a cough occurs more often in certain environments or during particular seasons. This could mean the cough is a symptom of an allergic reaction. The ACAAI estimates that between 40–50 million people in the United States live with some type of allergy. There are many types of allergies, including food, drug, and environmental allergies. An allergy is a condition in which a person's immune system overreacts to something that is usually harmless. A person with an allergy may be sensitive to a food item, pollen, or an insect sting...
